[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 2244584, member: 4937"] As far as I'm concerned, there is no one right answer to the original question - and this thread is proof enough that the one wrong answer to this question is to spend alot of time trying to debate how the spell works with the DM if you don't like his reasoning. If the DM wants to rule that the skull can talk dispite a lack of vocal cords, then that is how the spell works in that campaign. If the DM wants to rule that the skull will attempt to communicate but can't talk, then that is how the spell works in that campaign. If the DM wants to rule that a skeleton is not a 'mostly intact' corpse, and that the spell fails completely, then that is how the spell works in that campaign. If the DM wants to rule that the longer the skeleton has been dead, the less it remembers about its former life, then that is perfectly fine to even if it seems to contridict the explicit statement that the spell 'works' no matter how long the corpse has been dead. The game is about having fun. It's not about 'winning'. So, if you disagree, shrug it off and keep playing. It's not important whether everything goes your way and the be-all-end-all of being a player is not to try to maximize the advantage you have in every circumstance. [/QUOTE]
